<p>Net::Config - Local configuration data for libnet</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS"><a class="permalink" href="./Net::Config.html#SYNOPSIS">#</a>SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>use Net::Config qw(%NetConfig);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION"><a class="permalink" href="./Net::Config.html#DESCRIPTION">#</a>DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p><code>Net::Config</code> holds configuration data for the modules in the libnet distribution. During installation you will be asked for these values.</p>

<p>The configuration data is held globally in a file in the perl installation tree, but a user may override any of these values by providing their own. This can be done by having a <code>.libnetrc</code> file in their home directory. This file should return a reference to a HASH containing the keys described below. For example</p>

<pre><code># .libnetrc
{
    nntp_hosts =&gt; [ &quot;my_preferred_host&quot; ],
    ph_hosts   =&gt; [ &quot;my_ph_server&quot; ],
}
__END__</code></pre>

<h2 id="Class-Methods"><a class="permalink" href="./Net::Config.html#Class-Methods">#</a><a id="Class"></a>Class Methods</h2>

<p><code>Net::Config</code> defines the following methods. They are methods as they are invoked as class methods. This is because <code>Net::Config</code> inherits from <code>Net::LocalCfg</code> so you can override these methods if you want.</p>

<dl>

<dt id="requires_firewall($host)"><a class="permalink" href="./Net::Config.html#requires_firewall($host)">#</a><a id="requires_firewall"></a><a id="requires_firewall-host"></a><code>requires_firewall($host)</code></dt>
<dd>

<p>Attempts to determine if a given host is outside your firewall. Possible return values are.</p>

<pre><code class="plaintext">-1  Cannot lookup hostname
 0  Host is inside firewall (or there is no ftp_firewall entry)
 1  Host is outside the firewall</code></pre>

<p>This is done by using hostname lookup and the <code>local_netmask</code> entry in the configuration data.</p>

<p>FTP servers can work in passive or active mode. Active mode is when you want to transfer data you have to tell the server the address and port to connect to. Passive mode is when the server provide the address and port and you establish the connection.</p>

<p>With some firewalls active mode does not work as the server cannot connect to your machine (because you are behind a firewall) and the firewall does not re-write the command. In this case you should set <code>ftp_ext_passive</code> to a <i>true</i> value.</p>

<p>Some servers are configured to only work in passive mode. If you have one of these you can force <code>Net::FTP</code> to always transfer in passive mode; when not going via a firewall, by setting <code>ftp_int_passive</code> to a <i>true</i> value.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="local_netmask"><a class="permalink" href="./Net::Config.html#local_netmask">#</a>local_netmask</dt>

<p>A reference to a list of netmask strings in the form <code>&quot;134.99.4.0/24&quot;</code>. These are used by the <code>requires_firewall</code> function to determine if a given host is inside or outside your firewall.</p>
